Greece February 2025: Peugeot 2008 takes control in disappointing market (-14.3%)

The Peugeot 2008 holds a record 7.9% share in Greece in February.

It’s another very disappointing month for new car sales in Greece, diving -14.3% year-on-year in February to 9,818. The year-to-date tally is now off -15.4% to 20,477 units. Toyota (-14.9%) remains the best-selling carmaker in the country with 15.5% share vs. 16.6% so far this year. Peugeot (+17.7%) posts the only gain in the Top 5, and a double-digit one at that. It distances Hyundai (-13.8%), Opel (-14.1%) and Suzuki (-19.7%). MG (+48.2%) lodges a second consecutive month (and ever) inside the Top 10 at #9, while Volkswagen (+33.6%) and BMW (+3.2%) are also up. Chinese newcomer BYD is up four spots on January to #12 with 2.5% share.

Model-wise, the Peugeot 2008 (+39.8%) takes control of the charts both for the month and YTD with a gigantic 7.9% share. This is the nameplate’s third ever Greek victory after October and November 2021, and a new share record, beating the 5.1% it hit in November 2020. Leader last month, the Opel Corsa (+30.5%) is also in excellent shape at #2, a ranking it also holds YTD. The next four models all collapse. The Suzuki Vitara and Toyota Yaris (-39.7%) are the hardest hit, followed by the Citroen C3 (-38.7%) and Toyota Yaris Cross (-23.3%). The Toyota Corolla Cross (+191.3%) and C-HR (+3.8%) defy the negative market while the new MG ZS Max breaks into the Top 10 for the first time at #10.
